This Morning I went Coin Shooting at two local parks, mainly checked out the Tot Lots. These places I have been to many times the last couple of years. The first park is next to my sisters house, when I got there I see that some changes have been made, part of the wooded area has been cut down and the park extended. The search here has produced .57 cents 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 17 pennies and a button. I searched for about an hour.

I then went to the second park, also searched for an hour. Did pretty good here, found $1.42 and a couple of buttons. Found this $1.00 coin which registered a strong quarter on my ACE 250, when I dug it was about 2 inches down next to the parking lot at first I thought it was a quarter but than saw that it was a little larger thats when I saw that it was a $1.00 coin. Than I got 2 quarters, 1 dime, 3 nickels and 7 pennies from this park.

Sunday, June 12, 2011

This morning I went out coin shooting at two elementary schools, on the way to the first location it started to rain. I hoped that it would stop, was light with some fine drizzle was a while when it finally did stop. I didn't find a whole lot but didn't come out empty handed either, found .24 cents one dime, one nickel and 9 pennies. After here, I went to the second school here I did much better found $2.06 and a fancy button. It was 6 quarters, 4 dimes, 2 nickels and 6 pennies. As I was getting ready to stop for the day a young boy came over to me and asked if he could help me dig, I told himm that I was finished and getting ready to leave. He asked some questions so the two of talked for a short time.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Went back to the park at the beach for some Coin Shooting, did okay.found some coins at the Tot Lot, before finishing at the play area I found what I thought was shell bracelet sticking out of the woodchips under the kiddy slid. Turned out to be a box covered in little shells with a yellow ribbon tied around it. When I got back to the car I opened up the mystery box, inside I found a rosary and some kind of plactic bag which that I thru out. The only thing from that I kept was the rosary. The box was wet and in poor shape so I tossed that too. Did find a lot of coins, also what looked like some type of clip, after I got home I took it apart and found that it had 2 dimes and 3 pennies. Also found a key and a wheat penny 1953D.

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

I finally got out been awhile, went to the park at the beach the last 3 days there was a festival so I decided to go and see if I'd do good. Most of the park was still fenced off so I searched the TotLot and all away around the fence, didn't go beyond the fence will another time when everything is back to normal. Still did pretty good even thou I was dealing with leg/foot and back pain (have to get myself moving again). I found what looks like a Jade bracelet (feels like stone) the center stone has an image of a bat (found out it means Good Luck). Also, 6 religous charms/beads looks like something from a craft store, was broken so only found 6 of them.

Monday, May 30, 2011

Yesterday I stopped at the Dollar store for the Sunday paper, my husband said find a penny than we get it for .99 ccents. As I walked in I searched the floor, nothing. When I got up to the counter on the asprin boxes on the shelf I spotted a penny. When I went back to the car I gave my husband a thumb's up telling him I did find one, LOL!!!. Tomorrow I'm gonna try and get out with my ACE, last week hurt my ankle at first I thought I broke it (heard a loud snap), x-ray's gave me the good news it's not just pulled a tendon/soft tissue.

Saturday, May 21, 2011

This morning we went to a SA Thrift store before picking up our son. They had nothing but junk at this store and everything priced to high, boken stuff on the floor had to walk around it.

Today, I went to the grocery store to return 4 bags of bottles and cans for the deposit. As I was putting in the plastic bottles the machine next to me I noticed the slip for the cash, a man was on the other side of that machine I assumed it was his because people many times work on two machines at a time. He walked away, so I grabbed it the amount was .70 cents also found another can in the return slot another .05 cents. That makes an extra .75 cents to my savings. Afterwards I stopped at the Dollar store to get some cookies and a couple of books for the projects I'm working on, when I went to check out I saw a penny on the floor so when it came to my turn I bent down to pick it up. The projects I'm working on are posted on my other Blog and web-site.

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Went Coin Shooting to 2 locations, first was the park at the beach. I was gonna search the Tot Lot thats where I saw alot of kids playing there yesterday. When I got to the park I saw another person there with a detector and saw evidence that the play area was searched. So I went to a different area next to a resturant, I have been eyeing that area sent the fall. I did pretty good found $2.03 in a small area (I will search that area again). Also, found the thingy with the #2 must of been something in the center for I can see that there is a small hole on each side. The two items in the center I found a the Elementary school I went to after searching the park. When I got to the school as I was getting out of the car I saw a shiney penny on the pavement. At the school I did find some more coins, I have done pretty good here last season (found .73 cents).

It is so beautiful out today, but decided not to go detecting instead pick our son up for our Saturday visit. Before going to get him we stopped at BK's for breakfast, when I went to get hubby a coffee refill I spotted a penny on the floor (was a Canadian penny) but still a penny. Later in the day we went to the beach/park with our son, there were lots of kids playing in the Tot Lot. I think I'll hit that area tomorrow morning before the weather gets bad, should find something.

Todays find was at the Dollar Tree, went to get the usual Sunday paper and while waiting in line to cash out I again noticed a penny, this one was on top of a candy box on the floor level shelf.

Happy St. Paddy's Day, finally the weather has gotten warmer and I was out doing a little detecting/coin shooting. Also, first day detecting last year started on St. Paddy's day, hmmm wonder if that'll be a good sign that I'll find something good :-) this year . The first day took it slow due to bad back. I went to the park at the beach and searched around in the totlot, didn't find to much but that was expected with it being a long cold winter not many people out. I heard and saw many geese heading north a beautiful sight and sound. Also, spotted several Robins with not getting out much today was the first day I saw them.

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

This morning, I went to the grocery store to return the bottles for the deposit. Than afterwards I ran to the mall, before running into Michael's store I stopped at MacD's for a large diet coke. Went thru drive up after paying I saw a coin on the ledge of the window in the corner this time I didn't take it but told the employee that it was his lucky day and pointed to the coin ( the coin by it's edge looked like a quarter).

Sunday, February 20, 2011

This morning my husband and I did our regular thing for today, first was to get the Sunday paper. As I was getting out of the car I spotted to pennies on the cement edging of a flower bed, there is construction going on at this plaza so it was kind of a messy area. Later in the day we all stopped at the park on the beach, wish I had my ACE with me even if I did the ground was so wet and cold.

Saturday, February 19, 2011

My find was from the laundry mat. I was walking around checking the machines for coins, I than went over to the vending machine and checked the return slots, in the snack machine I found a dime in there. Even though I haven't been getting out much this winter, I still find some coins :-)...

Sunday, February 13, 2011

This morning my husband spotted a coin on the floor in front of the garbage at MacD's, it was a coin at first he thought it was a nickel but turned out to be a dime. Yes, maybe he will join me in searching for coins, be better if I could get him interested in metal detecting.

Sunday, February 6, 2011

This morning my husband and I went to MacD's for breakfast. I walked over to the Dollar store to get the Sunday paper, I got the paper and spotted a penny on the floor so as the saying goes "See a penny pick it up all the day you'll have Good Luck" so far not for I didn't stay out long, especially with all this snow around.

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

Yes!!! he did not see his shadow, early Spring and hopefully very soon back out to metal detecting (Coin Shooting). I'm tired of just seeing white on the ground, LOL!!!Have a Happy Day and Stay Warm and Safe if you are in the storm area...

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

This morning I went out for a short time to get a few things before the snow storm hits, I'm hoping that this will be the last of the snow, kind of tired of this cold and snow (every day in January it snowed, enough already). Tomorrow is ground hog day, if he sees his shadow with this lousey weather everywhere especially in Pennsylvania, I'll be not happy. I'm hoping for an early Spring. So, while I was out at the grocery store I went to check out the Coin Star machine (nothing in the mschine) but I spot a penny on the floor.

Sunday, January 30, 2011

This morning we went out for breakfast and some other errands, first stop was to get some gas from the station at the end of the block. I went to pay for the gas and found a dime on the floor just under the counter ledge. With it being very cold and snowy I haven't been out much to find lost coins or to even do some detecting, I'm hoping for an early Spring this year...

While the weather has been cold, I have been working on making and painting ornaments to sell. Can't wait til the nice weather arrives, it's a little over 50 days til Spring and I'm hoping for an early Spring.

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

This morning I went and did laundry, the weather is now at a decent temp so I went out. While there I went over to the snack machine to get some chips, everything in the machine is .85 cents. When I reached in to get my selection I felt another item, was a Baby Ruth candy bar (FREE!). When I was all done with the laundry and taking the baskets back out to the car I saw a penny on the ground, this Good Luck penny came after the candy *grin*...

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Today, I found a penny in the parking lot at WalMart next to my car. I have to say that this was a Lucky Penny, afterwards I stopped at BK and got a large soda as I was getting out the money the lady said she would just charge me for a small drink. So it is a good idea to pick up those found coins...

Sunday, January 9, 2011

As usual stopped at the Dollar Store for the Sunday paper, I spotted a penny on the floor next to the cart that has the newspapers. You got it, I picked it up with some difficulty case of the bulky winter jacket (man, I'm getting to dislike winter). I can't wait til the weather gets better so I can get out and detect or even take a walk to find coins laying on the ground, than I'll have something better to post *smiles*

Tuesday, January 4, 2011

This morning I went to do laundry, I'm hoping that it will not be busy there and it wasn't, less people the faster I get out. When I got ready to put my clothes into the dryer I found a lone penny. Hmm, haven't lost my touch usually find a coin or two in the machines. When everything was drying I went over to the vending machine to get a snack, also lucky here too, got a bonus nickel in my change.

Sunday, January 2, 2011

Today my husband and I went out to dinner at a Chinese buffett, we meet our daughter and her boy friend there. We all had a good meal and a good time visiting for tomorrow they are returning back to Los Angeles. On our way out of the resturant I spotted a coin at the entrance door, I waited for everyone to walk out so I could pick it up, was a nickel a 1969S.

Great news, on October 26, 2010 I lost my found money, possibly at the beach. I usually carried the bottle in my purse, when I got home it wasn't in there. Today I found that bottle, I had put it into a container that I throw my loose coins into. I thought it was gone forever, this is gonna be a Good Year.
